The House offered a rare rebuke to President Donald Trump on Wednesday, passing a Democrat-led measure to end his war with Iran over objections from Republican leadership.
It was one of two Democratic-led measures opposed by the White House that advanced in the GOP-led House. Lawmakers also passed a motion that would unlock a vote on sending aid to Ukraine.
The Iran war powers resolution, offered by Rep. Gregory Meeks of New York, the top Democrat on the Foreign Affairs Committee, had been heading for a vote before the House left for its Memorial Day recess on May 21. But it was abruptly pulled from the floor when it appeared that too many Republicans were absent to defeat it.
On Wednesday, it passed 215-208, with four Republicans joining all Democrats in voting yes. Those Republicans were Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Thomas Massie of Kentucky, Tom Barrett of Michigan and Warren Davidson of Ohio.
The resolution directs Trump to remove U.S. armed forces from hostilities with Iran, unless Congress votes to declare war or authorizes the use of military force against the Middle East nation. It would not force him to end the conflict, however, and is a symbolic expression of disapproval of Trump’s war with Iran.

What a waste of time.
If you are not catching flak, you aren’t over the target.
General George Patton
F,em. WGAF what they think? Massie? Wow! Didn’t see that coming Buwaahaahaa!/s
Both Houses of Congress now have gone on record as voting for this war to end. As do 2/3 of the American poeple.
Where is the power of rebuke provided for in the Constitution?
Congress can cut off funding for military action in Iran and/or impeach and remove the president from office. Other than that, Congress has no power over the Commander in Chief.
Just end the war now. Nothing good will come from pursuing it further. It will only get worse.
That’s the truth.
Exactly!
Well how the tides have turned..
You lot!
There is an uncontrollable tin horn mooselimbmadman launching I.C.B.M.’s, you know,,those things we have in holes around the country, and HAS a nuclear capability, and has expressed desires to utilize them,, and you, you stupid lot!
All that you are capable of doing, when you are not masterbating over your own greatness, is to “rebuke the president over his war with I-ran” ( whoo has those missiles????
Iran is very happy.
Massive has already been defeated. What about thr other three RINO GROPElite democrats?
Note that this would notchave passed if all of the repubbies had stayed in town and not gone home.
Iran throwing money at the democrats ?
It's either from below...
A. Prevent cruel Iranian despots from maniacally wielding nuclear threats against the free world to extort power and control and billions of dollars, or...
B. Attempt to embarrass Trump.
Maybe in November, the Republicans can take the House from the Democrats.
Wow!
Bet all these simpering anti-American cowardly weasels would prefer that Iran finish its nukes, and sneaks them into the U.S.
Six nukes, six targets, six harbors...
These pathetic scumbag politicians will be the first to bitch and moan about who is to blame...
